The aim of this work is to describe the orthogonal polynomials sequences which are identical to their second associated sequence. The resulting polynomials are semiclassical of class s ≤ 3. The characteristic elements of the structure relation and of the second-order differential equation are given explicitly. Integral representations of the corresponding forms are also given. A striking particular case is the case of the so-called electrospheric polynomials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
